Is there any cyberware that would let you send a wireless transmission of data you have in your headware memory?

If not, is it feasible to create something that would allow it?

Indeed. Check out the Man and Machine book. There's headware cell phone and fax machines and radios.

Completely feasible I'm sure. There would be a ...what is that called...?

Frequency strength to determine how easily jammed the transmission was.... I just can't remember the exact wording. Otherwise it should be rather simple to have a Datajack designed as the input and another to stick onto a System as the Output..hell they could be dual transmitters as well.

EDIT - He's got it better for the answer. ^_-

Actually, since the Man and Machine book has all the information about implanted Cyberdecks, if you had a way to access the Matrix, you could upload data from your headware memory to any place on the Matrix with ease.

Edit - Oh, you'd also need a router, for .1 essence, to let your implanted cyberdeck talk to your headware memory. Unless it's stated in the desc that two peices of ware talk to one another, they don't

That's only if the extra three ports on your datajack have already been filled.

If I had a cranium full of fax machines, cell phones, cyberdecks, headware memory and an image link (so I could actually see what's in my headware memory without diving into my cyberdeck) I'd need a router or two.

Where do you put the paper for the FAX machine?

In your ear, where else?

Thats not where I was thinking...

You can also use Optical Scanning Datajacks for wireless communication.

Yeah, but who wants to pull their pants down every time the screamsheets broadcast a special report?

Of course, Shadows of Europe brings us the beginnings of the Wireless Matrix, so figure in about six months to a year, we'll see hotspots popping up at all our favorite watering holes

Well what I was thinking was you hack into Corp XYZ's network, grab the floorplans or the security codes or whatever, and then send them to your crew.

As easily said as done. If you want to do it all via cyberware....

Glance at the map and have your opticam take a shot of it. Use your datajack's routing to connect that to your cyberdeck. Use your datajack router to connect that to your internal fax machine, and fax it to your freinds. I hope you have plenty of night and weekend minutes.

Yep, that is possible. Heck, from my reading of the "Telephone" listing on page 298 of SR3, that should be all you need for small files.

Cyber telephones, radios and other cyber communications are on page 298 of SR3.

Yes, you can send larger files, you just have to connect the telephone to whatever is holding the file via a router. Your headware memory for instance.

Oh, not that cyberware isn't cool, but you can carry gear to do all of this in your coat pockets. Shadowrun consumer grade electronics are very, very small. Check out the gear of the Investigator template in the SR# book. He's only spent a very small amount of , but he has the right tool for any espionage job you could wish for.

Encryption can help keep communications secure, but the only way to insure it is to use direct communications (laser or microwave transmitters or optical scanning datajacks). This of course has its disadvantages (it requires both parties to have LOS and probably a complex action or two), but combined with a transducer, you can not only send files but communicate virtually telepathically with someone without fear of interception.

To give you a good example, my team has the Face wired for visual/audio so we can watch off site what goes down. Data goes in cyber ears/eyes, to headware, out through radio. Data comes into me (Decker) and the rest of the team jacks directly into me (via data jack) or my deck (through a FUP) and we all get to listen in. This has been pointed out to me that for non-techonphiles, this is considered creepy. Weirdoes.

There's also a rigger emulation something or other which allows a character's senses, all of them, natural and cybered, to become input in a rigger's drone array. The rigger can't control the character, but the character's sesnory data can be used to guide indierct fire for example. It's in the Man and Machine book, with all the battletac implants.

Snake eyes. Very cool.

Anybody else remember in SR1 that it was impossible to do wireless data? Somewhere in one of the books, it was stated that it just wasn't possible to get a cell phone to create a stable enough connection for data transmission.

Yes, in fact a remote control deck (RCD) uses radio waves to send all that and ASIST data.

Just better compresion and transmission than you old TV set could get. Aren't elecromagnetic waves just higher up the scale. I should have been a little more specific, she has a wireless transmitter so we get souped up UHF. The game plays a little fast and loose with the data transmission rules. How else could an implanted transmitter not give you serious cancer. I just want to see a maser interface for your C2 deck.

Cancer? Who lives long enough to discover they have cancer and not have enough yen to pay for gene therapy?
